Sniper Arena: PvP Army Shooter Reviews

by Prndl Stickshift

I only give this game 1 star because it won’t let me enter with 0 stars. I had hoped I had found a First Player Shooter game that I could play that did not effect my vertigo. However after playing for awhile I am now going to delete. Not only do you play other player but you play against the developers. Every challenge is set up to force you to waste boost to complete. If the challenge is to shoot players in a certain positioning ie. standing, lying, or crouching they do not appear for 2-3 rounds. If the challenge is to shoot certain boost they don’t appear for 2 or more rounds. As far as a level playing field they force players to battle bots/players multi levels above your own level. If the challenge is to kill players with one shot one kill bots form and are immediately shot by another bot. They have started now with drones. These are a perk for the big spenders as well. And there are so many other gimmicks they use to force this to be a pay to play game. And now in the last week there has been a glitch that causes your loot items ie. cash/diamonds to disappear. I have tried to contact customer support and receive an acknowledgement that they have received my report and will reply within 2 working days but they don’t respond. I am now deleting this game and requesting a refund for money spent. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS GAME!

To be clear, you must spend to do well (A LOT). I honestly don’t blame SniperArena developer here as it’s a business, not a charity, and people are paying the prices to play. The issue, however, is the unethical depths this developer will go to drive that spending. Things I have witnessed/experienced in the year plus on the game:
* SniperArena developers importing a squad to the Americas server that had players artificially given all top gear and ranks to have enough of advantage to compel other teams to spend to keep up.
* SniperArena developers gaslighting you into believing you spent well over what you did by fraudulent or duplicated charges. Naturally, Apple could care less bc they are making $$. Players should band together and press a consumer bureau to examine. It’s a good scam
*Creating an entire scoring system based on spending more (the GR system) then just literally changing that system after users had spent a significant amount of $ to earn them.
In short, this game, with Apple being too busy rolling in cash to investigate them, conducts fraudulent and unethical business and goes on totally unchecked. It’s a wake up call when considering gaming on mobile in the future

This is definitely a pay to play game. When i started this game almost a year ago it..I couldn’t put it down. Amazing! Then it happened. They roped me in with these small crates/boxes you could buy for $0.99, give you some useful stuff and the always needed diamonds/gems. Then they upped the price to $1.99 and no diamonds. Then would have sales for the same thing you slaved to get at a fraction of the price only to jack up the price again post sale. You clearly started to see those that had the expendable income vs those that didn’t or that played for fun. Thus the fun got stripped away as they would roll out these massive changes to the game which just made the previous month of slaving absolutely pointless. For example the shift in avatars to characters. Horrible!! Another cash grab! It’s companies like this that turn me off gaming! Yes you need to make money to make the games etc, but i’ll be damned if i am going to support the charge more give less model these guys are firmly headed toward. Marvel Clash of Champions has it right! You can pay to play or not, either way you’re still having fun! These guys it’s either pay to play or forget about it, and don’t expect anything you worked hard to obtain be relevant 2-3 months from now making it frustrating and pointless!

If you’re interested in accuracy, don’t bother with this game. With some seconds left in each round the game doesn’t count or acknowledge what you’ve done even though the scene is still active. They give you “bots” to fill out your squad: the bots are programmed not to shoot opponents (i.e. help you), but to shoot all the bonuses on the screen, even when it’s loaded with enemies. So don’t count on health, stamina, cash, or jewel bonuses; oh, you get some but trust me, the game gets most. What can a “bot” do with those bonuses? Help you have to buy them instead of getting them fairly. Speaking of fair...would you enjoy hitting your opponent in the head 16 ( sixteen) times and have him kill you with one (1) shot? Then by all means play this game. With a credit card you can buy upgrades to make yourself invincible. There is no straight up fight in this game, you’ll find yourself up against players who can’t be killed, but who kill you each time you re-enter the game...over and over and over and over... It’s a pretty game and well done, but there are major flaws that make it painful to play.

The game is ok, but.... It’s very slow between the games and scenes. The shooter NEEDS to be able to duck and cover, some of the shot distances need to be MUCH greater. When aiming at the farther targets it is paramount the shooter has cover (not concealment),else the shooter is automatically gonna get hit several times and die, losing stamina. Better scopes are needed. The scope turned up to too much magnification will not be able to “see” the closer targets clearly and will probably miss. Just the opposite should be true also. If your scope isn’t turned up (magnified) enough the shooter will not be able to “see” the farther targets. These additions may be difficult for you, but if ya really want to make money, and pull players from games like PUBG, or Bullet Force, these are just some of the changes ya might want to consider. If ya need any more help you know where to find me. If ya can’t find me.... well I guess you ain’t gonna get much more GR8 ideas from my vast gaming knowledge. See ya!😜

I agree with everything that has been said here. I have been playing about a year now and get very frustrated with the diamond payout. I think the diamond payout should coincide with the task, instead of say 5 diamonds for a 50 kill it should be a diamond for every kill you make example 50 diamonds for 50 kills and so on. I can't keep up with spotters, health, 1 kill bullets let alone equipment upgrades. Also I would like to see different maps added to the tasks or alternate different maps or different task areas all together it gets very boring playing the same area when you can't afford buying things. I have also seen people with lower ranks having things you can't get till ranking up. All in all I love this game and the very helpful people I have met along the way and I will keep playing regardless of any changes. I can only hope there will be useful changes. I have read about the permissions you require which I admit I haven't read but I am never happy losing my privacy.

I started playing in December of 2017 and I’ve enjoyed my time playing this game. Customer service is not near as bad as some other developers I’ve had dealings with in the past. All my questions have been answered relatively quickly and sufficiently. The problem I feel is much like the problem the Call of Duty franchise faced before CoD WW2 came out. They gone beyond what their fans wanted. They become so sci-fi that fans wanted that gritty Boots-On-The-Ground campaign again.

This is where Sniper Arena is at. With all the drones and point boosting, it is no longer a game of skill, but rather he/she who has the most toys is the one who wins. Drones are waaaaaaaaaaay overpowered to the point it’s ridiculous. I personally have known shooters who would release drones, not fire a single shot, and still win matches. Drones need to be nerfed big time. They should be a supplemental resource not an extra shooter. Also the rewards payout systems for tasks and mercing is a joke. We invest hundreds and in some cases thousands of REAL DOLLARS and we get mere crumbs as a return.

Also allow us to invite and use single player chats for recruiting invites and to private message individuals within the game.

A fix of the rewards payout systems to make it worth it to play and complete the tasks and contracts, and also a heavy nerf on the drones would in my opinion give this game a much needed boost and make it worthy of 5 stars.

Great game! The only operational problem I have with this game, is the amount of time it takes to upgrade your weapons and gear. Of course One could pay real money to expedite the process, but occasional gamers aren’t going to pony up...and, therefore, may not be as competitive. That said, the gameplay is fun. Good graphics, challenging levels, etc. Despite the slow progress of upgrading weapons and gear, the biggest problem is me. I’m only just dancing over/under the 40 year old mark, and my sight isn’t what it used to be. I have trouble with judging minor contrast changes, and that’s big in this game. Distance isn’t a problem...that’s a matter of gauging size. Contrast clarity becomes an issue with objects of similar size and color/tone. For example; I can pick off a combatant on a distant rooftop, with ease. But close quarter combatants wearing brown/OD green gear, standing behind a black or rusty orange barrel...might as well be invisible. That’s likely a function of me, rather than the game. So...if you’re playing, and want to cut down Hatchet...hope to spawn near an oil drum.

Overall is great game. It has it pros & cons to be honest. If you wanna advice and climb up quick on your rank you will spend real money on the game like a have. My advice is, do your research ask questions (a lot) if you join a squad. If you join a good squad that great and all but most squads want you to buy Merc opp. That will give the squad anywhere from 1M to 5M ratings points and you will climb the ranks very fast putting you against stronger opponents. So! If you are a Rookie you will be force to Buy Weapons Package to be able to fight against stronger opponents. If you don’t then will lose all your battles because your weapons won’t do any damage to opponent. You will LOSE ALL your matches. So take your time learn the game before you if make any kinda purchase. Anyways it a great game once you learn the ropes. Hope this will HELP YOU make wise decisions. Good Luck 👊🏼

I just wanted a nice game shooting game. You are pitted against others in a number of different arenas. The first one you come to the other snipers are easy to spot, is where you learn to shoot. When you are ready for a real challenge you go to the other arenas. There the targets pop up all over and you have to have sharp eyes to spot the other snipers. There are certain tricks the game. Many time you can get pitted against higher rank players, but if you use the special ammunition they can be taken out. The key is to earn money and diamonds to upgrade your rifle and helmet, but you are not always against other players. With this game you don’t have to buy ( use real money ) to get anything, but it does help you move up quicker. Adds don’t pop up while playing the game, and there are some areas where you need a invite to play to get drones. I have been playing this game for over a year and still enjoy it.

I really enjoy this game and have been doing my daily tasks. As my rank gets higher the game gets harder which is good. However I find myself more and more being matched with people that have a much higher rank up to five ranks higher than mine. I rank is elite sniper one. I’m being matched up with phantom and black phantom players. I find this unfair and very difficult to finish my daily tasks. I believe we should be matched with one rank above or one ranked below. And if possible similar equipment. Especially on the daily tasks. I can completely understand if we do tournament or domination and there’s people ranked way above me that’s understandable we are working as a team or in our alliance. Like I said I really really enjoyed the game however takes the fun out of it if you’re getting killed every 10 seconds and it’s because you’re put in a game with someone who is way above your rank and possibly your equipment.

Lastly it would be nice while you’re waiting for your 10 seconds to be up if you would have the ability to turn on your exploding ammunition, health or night vision. Because many times as soon as you get that turned on as you reenter the game your dead.

Looking forward to more improvements. :)

I really enjoy the sniper arena game I play it daily and I try get my dailies done every day. And I love playing tournaments and domination matches it can get really exciting today I got a box with 100,000 diamonds in it I totally flipped my lid I was excited that I could smart my t5 k winter sport and my phantom 5 I saddened though that with all those diamonds and having auto rerattle on I lost my widowmaker paint on my phantom 5 without those little glitches sniper arena would be the best game ever I won't stop playing because of this I just hope that the little bugs in the game can be corrected so it don't happen anymore. But all in all I love shooting in sniper arena some avatar collections would be nice I out shoot snipers by 20 to 40 kills and still lose baddly if you could help the avatars find their way to me I would be very grateful and one happy sniper.. thank you for bringing me sniper arena sincerely John Blackwell (( dangerzone wolfman)) Keep the excitement coming

1. The basics of the game are great.

2. If you notice gems disappeared check to see if you’re on auto refill first and if not you can contact the developers but I wouldn’t bother. I had over 900 gems legit disappear and they basically blow you off as a scammer, so you can contact them but definitely don’t expect anything other than that.

3. Drones are the most ridiculous thing in this game. There shouldn’t be any reason during a domination/tournament that you can be killed before the map fully opens after respawning. The developers should at least acknowledge this completely ruins the game and experience. How does a drone that kills people that way and giving players credit for kills a DRONE makes even relate to a game called Sniper Arena”? If you want to put drones in they should only be used in matches vs other drones because you can’t win against a squad with them. It’s impossible.

4. The gem system is horrible. You won’t do much unless you pay or end up in a great squad with member who gift them to you. I’ve been lucky enough to be in one like that but have still spent plenty on them.

5. You can’t make everyone happy but when 95% of your reviews are complaining about the same things you’ve got to stop insulting us with patronizing replies and email responses that do nothing more than tell the player it’s their fault. When half my squad and almost every review bring up gems that go missing it’s a YOU issue, not us.

There a lot of sniper style games out there, but I think this is the most fun and challenging. I had just started playing so I don’t know too much but I am enjoying it. It has that edge of your seat feel when you have to kill or be killed naturally. You get better with repeated practice obviously. I like the upgrades and stuff... would be nice to see a further breakdown of certain upgrades- like fluted barrel, heavy barrel, chrome lined, stainless... double mag to flip, match trigger, special bolts... although would be kind of nice to have some night sniping with NV scopes, heat signature types whatever they are, and different kinds of ammunition loads for special ballistic response, speed and accuracy... don’t get me wrong this game has enough fun challenge... I’d say this is more for the casual rather than the simulation crowd. I am liking this game for the perks, the awards, it makes you want to keep playing I suppose... would be nice to choose a place to spawn or re spawn. Thanks guys!

Sniper arena is a great game to play .for those that want to try it out please do u want regret it and if you see in bad reviews don’t pay any attention to them it come from people that didn’t get there way and no I don’t work for sniper arena. I’m just a disable woman who loves the game it is so exciting and you meet and play with people from all over the world you couldn’t ask for a better game you can play for free but to be competitive you will have to spend a little money but for all the fun you have its worth it. Thank you : a sniper arena lover if anything happens SA will make things right . My game had a glitch but SA sent me a bonus it was gems . SA sent them to me because they want to make sure everything is done fair . So please download the sniper arena game and start playing you will have the time of your life.
Thank you . Kay’s-08

first off I'd like to say I've really enjoyed this game and I started back in Oct. back in Oct when I started till now I have learned so much on how to shoot and became a fast shooter. now problem with this game is it's not down to skill anymore it's how much u wanna spend on the game to b the best. I understand the gems I do but buyin all this gold gear and all that and now drones in the game it's just not fun anymore. I'm not gonna pay for gold helmet or gold guns or drones it's a waste....but in order to b competitive in this game anymore a person has to b buyin this stuff which I think is stupid!! it's not skill it's how deep r ur pockets. u guys don't need all this extra crap to keep ppl round and shootin! if u go back to skill and not money ppl will want to play yet. u guys have lost or ppl have quit that stuck lot of time and money in this game but it's just gettin redicoulous now! like I said it's a great game but it's def not the same

In this day and age with every game worth more than ten minutes of your own time being driven by in app purchases and advertisements, this game stands out as one that is both enjoyable as well as playable without actually spending money on it. The simplicity of the game is captivating yet the challenge of competing against others is almost addictive. If you want to spend money on it, you can. The fact that spending money on it doesn’t mean you’ll automatically win every round is such a rare thing today. You can just keep playing and getting better and that’s enough to keep yourself progressing through the ranks of the game. This is not s pay-to-win game. Simply put, this is a game that tests your dedication as well as your reaction time. You can test yourself, or you can train yourself and then perhaps test others against your own talent.

I have played many pvp online games in the past and this is by far the best I have played. I have only been playing for a little over 6 months and I’m almost a black phantom 1. The game allows you to meet great people from around the world. With thank being said some of those great people have taught me a lot in the game and most are in the top elite squad known as 1%. I’ve always believe if you want to be the best you need to take out the best. I am a commander of a squad on the American server called -REAPERS- and my game name is Thanatos.....I love the game and helping people learn as I was taught. Any time I have had a concern or question with a concern the excellent customer service through their Facebook page has always been nice and helpful. I once lost my account due to a Game Center issue but again with their help I had it recovered within days.

Despite all the other reviews I’ve read, this game really is fair and honest. There’s generous amounts of in-game currency being thrown at you through-out your experience and the game was obviously well thought out and planned. For those that are very worried about the “higher ranked” players and the “spawn traps”, there is an instant kill bullet that will take care of those pesky veteraned snipers! I am still working my way through the game and its mechanics but after two days of playing for hours, I am quite satisfied and am honestly loving the game. Everything about it is exquisite. However, I do think it’s a bit irrational to make us pay real money for boxes to receive avatars and other treats. That upsets me a bit and I do hope the developers come up with a gacha-type box that is bought with in-game currency as I think that will entice more players to buy gems and have a go at a randomly generated box to get whatever their hearts desire!

Been playing for 2 years. There are rules you need to know when starting. Google some videos. People complain about opponent matching. If watch videos you’ll learn that upgrading damage/armor will make you face stronger opponents. Follow the rules and will be fine. Join a squad and it’s a blast. Spending money helps for sure, but don’t have to. I’m in a top squad and rarely do. There are ways to earn and save in the game to get what you need. I’ve been in a squad with folks all over the world for a year. Like a brotherhood. We talk daily during team battles on group chat. Now....the game keeps changing the rules which gets a little frustrating but from this guy who is NOT and has never been a gamer...I’ve played everyday for 2+ years, I haven’t broke the bank, and I can hang with anyone in the game.
